hi guys has anyone had any experience with these? quite fancy them and quite cheap just wondered if any1 has already used them?
cheers

 

good find mate...

 

Yeah had some on mine looked nice and lasted a while but then cracked twice so ended up back on standard ported ones didn't notice any performance gains either.

 

Was gonna say I hear a lot of bad things about eBay parts...

 

This Guy is sound, top Engine Builder !!

 

Had issues with the slip joints excessively leaking/blowing and the supplied gaskets are terrible.

pay a little extra for something like japspeed better to do it right the first time

 

Thing is budget kit is often badly fitted as budget also involes budget fitting, but I do agree with gaskets slip joints can be a problem without a decent fitting compound.

 

I have personally used that exact header, and it fitted so bad I had to break out the tig and basically reconstruct the entire far side piping.

Beware

 

Bought in the UK or USA ?

 

USA. that distributor has a setup on ebay usa.

also, it is usually one factory in china that supplies all the "vendors" on ebay.

 

Can't comment on the headers themselves but Andy (Williams Motorsport) is a top engine builder and runs rally cars if he thinks they're up to the job I'm inclined to believe him.

 

They still have a two bolt up-pipe so they will be prone to leaking.

 

I sell between 10-20 sets of these a Month, they do perform well, (as proven on the test mule), they are much better than the ones with flexi joints and I am now supplying better up-pipe gaskets as there has been some issues with the std ones failing.
They come with 12 month warranty so please, if anyone has had any problems let me know. I am looking onto stocking the 3 bolt type but they are twice the price.
